Installation

Be sure to run install.py in the Webware directory before proceeding. Some portions of the documentation will not be accessible until this is done. (You can use install.py -v for verbose output).

Components

Each Webware component has a focused purpose and can often be used on its own. At the same time, the components are designed to work together where appropriate. You can use as much or as little of Webware as you want to.

The components are summarized in the Component Index.

Most people start with WebKit, which is the Webware application server.

Status

Webware is already being used for real work by a variety of people in different environments. With support from the webware-discuss mailing list, you should feel comfortable developing with Webware.

In the Component Index you will see the status of each component such as alpha and beta. For beta components we are successfully striving for backwards compatibility of the API as the components mature.

You can keep up on new releases through the very low traffic announcement list and the home page at http://webware.sourceforge.net.
